Effect:  This spell allows the wu jen to send his spirit outside his body while maintaining some semblance of life in the physical body. <soul if human>

When the spell is cast, the wu jen's spirit invisibly separates itself from the body and is
free to move around. The body does not fall into a trance, but assumes a type of half-awake state. The wu jen
(in spirit form) can instruct the body to take simple actions such as walk, converse, or eat while he does other
things in spirit form. The body behaves as if in a daze. The spirit form of the wu jen retains the ability to cast
spells, although doing so instantly forces the return of the spirit form to the body. The spirit form is considered
to be a spirit for the purposes of protection from spirits and other spells.

Damage taken by the body or the spirit is subtracted from the hit points of the wu jen. If the body is
destroyed, the wu jen is slain. If the body is moved beyond the range of the spell, the wu jen is unable to return
to it. If the spirit form does not return to the body before the end of the spell's duration, it is trapped outside the
body. The wu jen's body falls into a catatonic state while the spirit must wander aimlessly. With the expiration
of the spell, the character loses the ability to cast his spells in spirit form. The spirit can be returned to the body
through the means of a restore spirit spell.

MC: A small mandala.
